Does an old Sheraton Flex now have some value since it can be used in Abound ?

I know at one point Sheraton Flex was pretty much worthless
Does an old account now have some value because of Abound access?
I know that if sold it would loose the Abound access

I think you have answered your own question. It may have more value to you but on the open market it has no more value than it always had if a prospective purchaser doesn't get to elect Abound.

Define "value". Sheraton Flex is certainly more useful to an existing owner if it can be used in Abound.

But that usefulness is not transferable, thus, at least for appraisal purposes, it has no value.

A few in S and VA, a single resort in NC, MD, PA, and UT, plus Jamaica and the Bahamas
Does resale Flex owners at Sheraton/Aventuras/Westin and home option owners of Nanea and others have access to Abound?

If it doesn't transfer, the value is what you make of it in the systems you use.

Daughter's husband could inherit (which I think would preserve Abound access)
Marriott status would be Executive
Looks like based on maintenance fees cost per Abound point would be a little over $0.65 (65 cents) --and headed up
Seems only so so to me
OK if you are already into timeshares and too much bother if you are not
